How Can Severe Loose Stools After Consuming Outside Food Be Treated?
Question: Hi Doctor, my wife 33 years of age is suffering from loose motions since morning and have taken roco and mahaflox once during noon but no relief. she was travelling and since last 5 days having food from outside. there is no other problem. can you advise what should be done.
Brief Answer:
Acute gastroenteritis.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
If I was your treating physician, I would suggest you do the following:
- The medication prescribed for your wife was Tab. Roko and Tab. Mahacef, which is an antibiotic effective against aerobic organisms. I would suggest it best for her to be started on broad-spectrum antibiotics. For this, I would say its best to start on T. Metrogyl for complete coverage.
- Drink plenty of boiled clean water. Can also consume fruit juices or tender coconut.
- Can take T.Roko if loose stools have not subsided.
- Take foods that are not spicy or oily.
This should resolve within a weeks time.
Hope I have answered your query.
